"There was an explosion, market district." Rolando and Barker had settled into the local police monitoring station. Rolando knew that his father would cause a problem sooner or later it was in his nature. Barker was skeptical up until the bomb went off. It was almost enough for Barker to believe that the Lorentino's had some intrinsic link to each other. Or that Rolando was working with his father as his superiors long suspected.
"That's dad." Rolando was already snagging his gear getting ready to move.
"How do you know? Could be a gas explosion or any number of things?"
"He's in town for less than a week and something exploded, I know that's my father."
"Sound reasoning, lets go, I'll brief the team on the way." Rolando and Barker made their way up stairs, they had a shuttle waiting to take them to the bomb site and Rolando was almost inside when he got a sense something was wrong and he grabbed Barker and ran away from the ship, right before it exploded. Barker looked to be in bad shape, he took a large hit of metal through his back. Rolando was mostly fine, some scratches and bruises, but the ship and its occupants were dead. Medics arrived shortly to care for Barker. Rolando didn't really know the man, but he felt bad he got blown up. Still he had a job to do, so while the medics were tending to Barker he took the key to his shackles and undid them, he had to get to his father to figure out what in the gods name was going on. Back in the command center as people were rushing around he managed to snag one of the techs.
"Can you get me video of that explosion?"
"Which one sir the one we just had?"
"No no the one from earlier at the cafe, I just need to see it." The technician looked at him with a perturbed glare and then pulled up the burning building where the explosion had gone off. He turned around to make a comment toward Rolando, but he was gone, when the technician turned around he could clearly see him near the explosion though it was many miles away. The technician just turned his screen off and went for a break clearly shit was way over his head.
"Dad." Rolando didn't know how far he had shifted, but he could feel it in his veins enough to know the answer was far. He wasn't surprised to see Trezlan standing there even though the feed showed no one, Trezlan was a mysterious man.
"Rolando."
"Dubois." The assassin was a bit of a surprise though for Rolando, he did not expect to see him again.
"Lieutenant Lorentino." He tipped his non-existant hat.
"There now everyone see's everyone else, I'm glad you're here son, I might actually need you." Rolando immediately regretted everything in his life that had lead him to somehow winding up as a cog in his fathers mechcination yet again.
